The Footloose star – currently appearing in detective drama The Following – took to YouTube to make this video in which he seeks to remind those born in the 21st Century about the culture and technology in a decade untapped by social media and the Internet.

And his conclusion appears to be that is that anybody born after 1985 has ‘no idea how hard life was’ for technology-deprived folks living in that era.

‘You know my favourite app? Rubik’s Cube,’ Bacon declares at one point, going into a stream of consciousness about the Cold War and suggesting it was impossible to even go to the video store without being ‘nuked’ en route.

Sadly it all comes to an abrupt end when his ramblings are cut short by the camera crew.
